My first day of "unemployed" life.

Today's tasks:

- Pack the van for a weekend of climbing
- Organise some building work on the house
- Make LOT of quince jam
- Send my last full invoice to my client

Who should I follow for content on #startups #entrepreneurship #solopreneuer #saas #IndieDevs

But before I jump head first into long days of startup-life I'm taking 2 weeks to decompress.

That is if I don't get too excited and start early 😅

I just lost my main client.

By the end of today, I have no income.

So why am I so excited?

I've got a few ideas that I'm going to be testing and building over the next few months.

I'm excited to have the time and focus to try and make one of these idea into something great.

I'll be building all of these ideas in public so make sure to follow me to see the progress.

Big shoutout to @SamCompleteCode for his invaluable @awscloud tutorials on YouTube. They kick-started my journey into #AWS cloud engineering with @AWSAmplify, @typescript, @goserverless. We’ve supported each other’s content for years and we FINALLY got to meet at #reinvent 👨‍💻🙏

If you think that just getting AWS Certified is enough to get a job

You'll be very disappointed

In this video, I talk about why you need more than just a badge to get the job.

What other Serverless patterns do you like to use?

Want to become a kick-arse Serverless Architect

Learn these 5 advanced patterns

1. Event-Driven Architecture:
Utilizing an event-driven architecture allows for the decoupling of different services, which can allow for faster scaling and enhanced flexibility.

5. Error Handling:

This is important as it allows your app to recover or at least understand any errors.

There are multiple patterns for handling errors. Find the ones that work best for your main architecture patterns and you end up with a far better user experience.

Sharding your partitions

If your schema design is going to have on partition that is just too big - you can split it up.

You can either do this randomly or with a calculated 'chunk'
Both have their pros and cons
